See the animal in it's cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you really are alone
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you wanted to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home

Yeah, 'Arry tends to like repetition

Quote:

Have you ever felt the future is the past, but you donít know how...?
A reflected dream of a captured time, is it really now, is it really happening?

Donít know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think Iíve seen your face, seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind

All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination? I just canít take no more

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

Think Iíve heard your voice before, think Iíve said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream? is this a new reality
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind

All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation
Coming to the realization that I canít see for sure

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, please save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

I get up put on the light, dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again
Nothing that I contemplate, nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head

Dread to think what might be stirring, that my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting, saving me from myself

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

Lost in a dream of mirrors, lost in a paradox
Lost and time is spinning, lost a nightmare I retrace
Lost a hell that I revisit, lost another time and place
Lost a parallel existence, lost a nightmare I retrace

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself
I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause Iím alive
I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself

The dream is true, the dream is true
The dream is true, the dream is true

I will always remember the media release of "Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son". They were in an eery castle and they all sat round a table with nice white cloth sipping "tea" from fine china with legs crossed saying things like..."well old chap, we were quite thrilled with the album and certainly put our best effort in..."
